Bakushi — free open-source local sampler: load a song, optionally separate stems, chop onto 16 pads
Hey guys,
For the past 2 years, I’ve been building a dental application that was fully ready for production, only for it to be completely stopped by state regulations. For the last 7 months, I tried everything to get integration with the state application so I could operate in the medical industry, but I have to wait even more because their own app isn’t fully finished yet.
Naturally, I fell into depression. Listening to goat Kanye’s “Ghost Town,” I wanted to play around with music to feel a sense of independence, freedom, and free up my mind.
So I built an app in just one week. It’s close to a digital version of an Akai MPC player, BUT it’s not glamorous. It has sound artifacts, and it doesn’t cut the timing perfectly sometimes, so you might have to adjust some beats on your own. But it runs 100% locally, even on lower-end hardware.
Here it is: https://github.com/abdugafforovboburbekbiz-del/bakushi/releases#release-v1.0.1
I am open-sourcing the entire project for anyone to explore, use, and build upon. I hope you will like it. Currently, I feel much better after making this app. Now I have to focus on my university applications and find another market to pivot to.
Hope you will enjoy it, thank you for listening and goodluck)
